Train as an Equine Chiropractic?
Equine chiropractic is, like human chiropractic, a form of alternative medicine. Equine chiropractic involves carefully adjusting the spine and joints of a horse in order to relieve pain and enhance movement. Because of the way nerves pass through the spinal column and connect with other nerves elsewhere, adjusting the spinal column can affect other nerves. Chiropractic care is not a substitute for regular veterinary care, rather, it is a supplement.Equine chiropractors frequently work as part of a team including a veterinarian, especially in terms of relieving equine pain and post injury or strain therapy. In fact, many DVMs, or Doctors of Veterinary Medicine also pursue equine chiropractic training. A DVM degree is not required for equine chiropractic, though most equine chiropractics have a college degree, certification as an equine chiropractic, and, depending on the state, they may also have a license to practice equine chiropractic.An equine chiropractic needs to have a great deal of experience and comfort working with horses. They need to have strong observational skills, and good hand-eye coordination, and a fair amount of strength both in terms of performing chiropractic adjustments, and handling horses who may be in pain and discomfort and thus not at their best in terms of behavior.There are several steps to accomplish before attempting to practice as an equine chiropractor. First, study at an accredited school offering a doctorate in equine chiropractic. There are many different schools offering training, with or without a certificate. Generally speaking the longer programs that require a hundred hours or more in actual supervised clinical work with horses are better. In North America the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) offers an Animal Chiropractic Certification Commission (ACCC) certificate to graduates of accredited schools. Obtaining an ACCC certificate depends on first earning a degree as an equine chiropractor, then successfully passing a two-part exam; the exam consists of a written portion and a clinical portion that involves hands-on examination and treatment of a horse. Depending on the state, an equine chiropractor may then have to obtain a license. Note that even after licensing, some states required an equine chiropractor to be supervised by a DVM.
